I have a topic to speak about today that is near and dear to my heart. I’m going to talk about homemaking. This word, “homemaking” has been thrown around and looked down upon for the last few generations. How can you be “just” a homemaker? Ladies, let me encourage you, whether you only work inside the home or you have a job outside your home, you can and should be a homemaker. Home is the best place on Earth. Make your home a haven. I have been excited to see the rise of modern homemaking in today’s generation. We are craving home! Let these homemaking quotes encourage you in your valued position.

Quotes About the Importance of Homemaking

“Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world.” C.S. Lewis

“There needs to be a homemaker exercising some measure of skill, imagination, creativity, desire to fulfill needs and give pleasure to others in the family. How precious a thing is the human family. Is it not worth some sacrifice in time, energy, safety, discomfort, work? Does anything come forth without work?”

Edith Schaeffer

“I’m only a housewife, I’m afraid.” How often do we hear this shocking admission. I’m afraid when I hear it I feel very angry indeed. Only a housewife: only a practitioner of one of the two most noble professions (the other one is that of a farmer); only the mistress of a huge battery of high and varied skills and custodian of civilization itself. Only a typist, perhaps! Only a company director, or a nuclear physicist; only a barrister; only the President! When a woman says she is a housewife she should say it with the utmost pride, for there is nothing higher on this planet to which she could aspire.” John Seymour

“She must look upon her home as the one spot on earth, for which she is alone responsible, and which she must cultivate well for God.”

J.R. MILLER

No ordinary work done by a man is either as hard or as responsible as the work of a woman who is bringing up a family of small children; for upon her time and strength demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night. She may have to get up night after night to take care of a sick child, and yet must by day continue to do all her household duties well; and if the family means are scant she must usually enjoy even her rare holidays taking her whole brood of children with her. The birth pangs make all men the debtors of all women. Above all our sympathy and regard are due to the struggling wives among those whom Abraham Lincoln called the plain people, and whom he so loved and trusted; for the lives of these women are often led on the lonely heights of quiet, self-sacrificing heroism. Teddy Roosevelt, 1905

“The career of motherhood and homemaking is beyond value and needs no justification. It’s importance is incalculable.”— Katherine Short

Motivational Quotes on Homemaking

Wash the dishes not because it is dirty nor because you are told to wash it, but because you love the person who will use it next. St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Watching and learning from Mama and the other women in my family gave me a deep love for home and hearth and taking care of people. I knew from a young age that there was eternal value in those things.” Sophie Hudson

“It’s sad if people think that’s (homemaking) a dull existance, [but] you can’t just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It’s the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world. I don’t want my husband and children to come home and find a rattled woman. Our era is already rattled enough, isn’t it?”
― Audrey Hepburn

“I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.”

― Jani Ortlund
